Atmosphere
April 22, 2023
Atmosphere is very nice, I like that you can walk around and check out stuff without staff pushing stuff or making unsolicited recommendations. I like to browse -- and this place serves. Products are excellent, lots of cool edibles and tablets and fun stuff.
On the other hand -- the register staff have been notably unfriendly to me on a number of occasions. Maybe it's because i'm a white guy with a mustache who works construction, but i feel like an attitude was given to me that i didn't see other customers getting.
I'll admit, one time i accidentally walked past the small sign that said "wait here to be called to a register" and i was corrected -- albeit, in a very unfriendly un-customerservicelike manner.
I'll come here again, but I'm really disappointed in the staff. I get that it's retail, and it's not a fun job. Maybe harborside doesn't take care of them well, and that's another issue altogther. Anyways... i said my piece.

I couldn't leave the Bay with out checking out harborside stores dispensary while my visit in Oakland. 40min drive from where I was staying and I have to say I was very impressed. Wonderful atmosphere: bright, open and spacious. Friendly staff, who are knowledgeable professional and enthusiastic. Congratulations Berner #berner415 on dropping that #gelato42! ✌🏾🍪

Harborside always carries a huge selection of classic and new strains, all high quality, at price points to fit everybody's budget. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the vibe is the exact opposite of a skeevy "head shop" - it's more like a cross between the produce aisle at Whole Foods and the gift shop at a planetarium. And there's PARKING! No matter what your cannabis needs are, you'll leave satisfied!

Thank you so much for your review!! It's been a while since we took a trip to the planetarium gift shop but always enjoyed the magical side of the expereince.

Awesome place and great service. Wish I knew I could of paid with debit card but it's ok. A lot longer wait then other places.
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your review!! Our debit terminals were down a few times these last few weeks. We also have an ATM on site if that is more convenient. We also offer an option to order online and skip the main line, you are able to come right to the pickup line! We look forward to having you back and be ready for new products and an update to our selection.

Great selection

High grade weed; varied and changing selection; friendly and professional staff. Spacious environment but a tad sterile.

The bud product is what it is. Service matters more than anything. I wanted to pay them, but they couldn't provide any change. In fact, they actually expect customers to show up with exact change. In 2019. Lousy.

I think this is one of the most amazing stores formed from a true cannabis activist that we should all strive to model our take on the herb after support the right sources and people to obtain your meds!:)

Harborside is amazing! Everyone is so knowledgeable and nice. If you buy something and it doesn't work for you it can be returned for a full refund.

I love harborside! It's pretty close to my house, they have a rewards program and they have free delivery.
If only I could get the clear for $55 a gram with tax included like I can get in SF at the Green Door. Otherwise, being able to get it delivered to my house is very convenient. Thanks harborside for being my local MMJ dispensary!

I love the activism and patient resources alone then add a great selection of clones, edibles, accessories, you name it. It was a great visit.

I am new to using this medicine for pain refief. I think the people who helped me were very sensitive to this and really took time to find what would meet my needs. I have actually had times of no pain for the first time in 9 yrs. And never is my pain unbearable anymore.

Great bud selection, high quality product, and a vast array of products to select from. On the other hand I've got a lot of clones from here and have had mixed results. DHN is always a safe bet, so I try and stick to buying those.

Everyone was very welcoming! it was my first time going to a club so I was a little nervous, but everything went smoothly and I didn't feel rushed or anything and there is so much to look at and they're very informative about any questions you could have. plus they have a bunch of extra activates there. can't wait to come back
